it's official!




...the names are in! i couldn't deal with not having the name for the baby picked out right away. for some reason, i just feel like i can't move on until the name is chosen. if it's a girl, her name will be Lucille, Lucy for short. her middle name will most likely be Clella, which is a family name, or Mae, or possibly Moxie. for a little history lesson, Lucille was the name of my great grandmother. she, a widow, raised my grandma and her brothers during the depression on the salary of a teacher. she was a very strong lady!


so far, both of our kids have been named after someone in our family. Bailey's middle name is Malloy, which is the combined names of my grandma, Marcia and my grandpa, Lloyd. they are two of the greatest people i have ever known and i admire them with all my heart. Chloe's middle name is Milada, which is her great, great, great grandmother who was a bohemian, child prodigy pianist. she played some of the most prestiges venues around the world, but as a teenager, lost the majority of her eyesight and was never really able to play in public again. she was an amazing woman.


if we have a boy, his name will be Rex! Chester absolutely LOVES this name. i think it's super cute and not very common. i'll probably call him Rexy...cuz i think it's adorable! his middle name will most likely be Oscar or Lloyd, which are both family names.


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh..... it feels so good to have the names picked out!


PS....we aren't going to find out the sex until this little baby is out in the world with us! very exciting!

why is it that every night before i go to bed, for the last WEEK, i have felt this urgency to find a baby name for the little tyke growing in my belly?! this kid isn't due till october 25th, so it's not like i don't have PLENTY of time! i think my favorite baby name website so far is nameberry. They have a lot of cool lists and none of them are too overwhelming (some that i have found have pages and pages and PAGES of names...makes my eyes want to bug out of my face!). i'm split in decision between a really unique, borderline-edgy name, or a good old classic. i hate waiting!

and so it begins.


i must admit, i'm a bit intimidated by this whole 'blog' thing. i've had the desire to start for some time, but every time i feel like it's time, i get cold feet. so the best thing to do (as with anything else i've been apprehensive about in the past) is to just jump in head first. i will tell you that there will (most likely) not be much relativity between most of my posts. i've decided to let this blog be an outlet to my thoughts and my feelings as well as my ideas and creations. so, with that, thanks for stopping by and i hope this turns out to be a fun, rewarding and emotionally fulfilling experience!
